MULLER, Laura. Language and psicopedagogy: contributions to a practice not medicalized. Constr. psicopedag. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.23, pp.104-120. ISSN 1415-6954.

This article seeks to bring contributions of linguistics to the field of Psychopedagogy regarding the conception of language and the process of acquisition and use of reading and writing, aiming to guide a psychopedagogical practice not medicalized. For it, is drawn a critique of the conception of language in the definition, diagnosis and treatment of dyslexia. At the same time, is proposed, by analyzing reading and writing data of two children who have received a misdiagnosis, the mischaracterization of what was misinterpreted as a symptom of pathology from a theoretical and methodological framework of the field of linguistics.

Keywords : Psychopedagogy; Linguistics; Language comprehension; Dyslexia; Medicalization.
